Dove - Y3/4
Welcome to Dove!
We are a mixed class from years 3&4 and you will find us in the KS2 corridor, in the classroom nearest the hall.
Our teachers are Mrs Stranks (Mon, Tues & Weds am) and Mrs Hatcher (Weds pm, Thurs, Fri) and our teaching assistants are Miss Honour Luckins, Mrs Sara Clifford and Mrs Khatri.
In place of our usual 'Meet the Teacher' meetings, we have produced a video presentation with information about Dove class for September 2020:
